…le of corrupting morality; she does not make innovations, she explains. Thus, for example, the dogma of the immaculate conception is not new; it was contained in the theotokon of the Council of Ephesus, and the theotokon is a rigorous consequence of the Catholic dogma of the incarnation. In the same way the Catholic Church makes no excommu- nications, she declares them ; and she alone can declare them, because she alone is guardian of unity. Outside the vessel of Peter, there is nothing but the abyss. Protestants are like people who have thrawn…

…asing. There is no individuality but in illusion. And the illu- sion is change and pain, and its destruction is change and pain, and its new segregation from the infinite and eternal is change and pain; and substance infinite and eternal is change and pain unspeakable. Beyond thought, which is change and pain, lies be- ing, which is change and pain. These were the last words intelligible; they lapsed into the eternal moan, Woe! Woe! Woe! Woe! Woe! Woe! Woe! in unceasing monotony that rings always in my ears if I let my thought fall from the hei…
…derstand how tremendous a task is that of the postulant, since he has to glorify and initiate all his principles and train them to their new and superior tasks. This surely explains better the terrible dangers of the path. . . . Some years back, 011 the Red River in China, John St. John saw at every corner of that swift and dangerous stream a heap of wreckage. . . . He, himself in danger, thought ofhis magical career. Alcoholism, insanity, disease, faddism, death, knavery, prison—every earthly hell, reflection of some spiritual blunder, had seiz…
3.40. 4.10. 118 THE EQUINOX One might justly object to any Results of this Ten days’ strain. But if abundant health and new capacity to do great work be the after—effect, who then will dare to cast a stone? Not that it matters a turnip—top to the Adept himself. But others may be deterred from entering the Path by the foolish talk of the ignorant, and thus may flowers be lost that should go to make the fadelesswreath of Adonai. Ah, Lord, pluck me up utterly by the root, and set that which Thou pluckest as a flower upon Thy brow! Walked back to the…
…fully of Religion. “Wait and see,” said the Judge ; for he was a just Judge. Then the Man with the Microscope explained the uses of this new and strange instrument. And the Judge patiently investigated all sources of error, and concluded in the end that the instrument was a true revealer of the secrets of the water. And he pronounced just judgment. But the others were blinded by passion and self-interest. They only quarrelled more noisily, and were finally turned out of court. But the Judge caused the Man with the Microscope to be appointed Gov…

For the Sun is nigh unto the End of the Sign of he Fishes in the Thirteenth Year of the Æon, and the New Current of High Magick leapeth forth as a Flood from the Womb of my True Lady BABALON. And a Word hath come to me by he Mouth of the Scarlet Woman, whose Name is EVE, or AHITHA, concerning the Temple of IUPPITER that is builded for me.

Iam: I am not, but all-changing move The worlds evolving in a golden ladder Spiral or helical, fresh gusts of love Filling one sphere from the last sphere grown gladder ; All gateways leading far to the above.

The Peace, the Jealousy, and the Ecstasy of God. 81 XVIII THE TRYST There are no degrees in Allah, O boy with ears1 like new moons ! and there is no degree in the ex- cellence of thy podex ; nor is the joy of thy lover, when he delights therein, from day to day dimi- nished or increased. This is the sigillum of perfection in any work. The perfect lover is calm and equable ; storms of thunder, quakings of the earth, losses of goods, punishment from great men, none of these things cause him to rise from his divan, or to remove the silken tube of …

St. Helena and Golgotha are the beacons of the new civilization; they are the two piles of an immense bridge made by the rainbow of the final deluge, and which throws a bridge between the two worlds. And can you believe that a past without aureole and without glory, might capture and devour so great a future? Could you think that the spur of a Tartar might one day tear up the pact of our glories, the testament of our liberties? Say rather that we may again…

But that a field for research is opened up no sane man may doubt. Nor may one question that the…

And as , on the one hand , it is so hard to drive away the thought we would fain be rid of ; so , upon the other , the pleasant imaginations which we would so gladly retain are , sooner or later , jostled away by the crowd of claimants for birth (d ) into the world of consciousness ; which hover as a sort of psychical possibilities , or inverse ghosts the bodily presentments of spiritual phenomena to be , in the limbo of the brain . To that form of desire which is called “ attention , ” th…
